On September 27, 2022, at approximately 6:40 pm, Hughesville Volunteers were alerted to the 1000 block of Suffolk Drive in La Plata for the house fire.
Engine 22 made the response. While responding, first arriving units went on the scene with smoke showing and asked for the working fire upgrade bringing additional units to the scene. Units located an individual inside the residence and was removed just prior to arrival. EMS units on the scene began life saving measures. Upon arrival, Engine 22 pulled a second line and advanced it to Division 2 (2nd story) and completed a secondary search for occupants and extinguishment of any fire. The secondary search was negative for additional occupants.
A short time later the fire was brought under control, and Engine 22 assisted with salvage and overhaul of the house.
